Yes. There is a lot of misunderstanding about this topic. One could have a short-term nonimmigrant intent while having a long-term immigrant one. For example, international students obtain an F-1 visa to study in the United States, and then immediately after entry to the United States, they can apply for the EB-5. Sometimes, students apply for the EB-5 visa, either directly or indirectly, as a dependent before getting an F-1. If the applicant is a derivative applicant, since they are not the actual EB-5 investor, they will most likely not have an issue with obtaining the F-1 visa. On the other hand, if the applicant is already an adult and directly applied for the EB-5, clearly showing immigrant intent, he or she would have to provide enough information to convince USCIS.
